I did just set up a little Raspi with Raspbian (Wheezy I think) and Leafnode, and it makes a nice little news spool. Amazing i was previously using much more serious hardware to do the same thing. That computer kicked the bucket last night (sniff sniff) so I hooked up the Raspberry and was surprised by just how well it performed the same tasks, at a fraction of the power draw. This little boxes are so much fun.
